The D2’s discrimination is similar to the ATPro’s in that it has a adjustable tone break on the size of the iron you want to disc out, or rather it has broad iron range. Let’s say your working on a site that has a lot of a specific size nail(s). You can adjust that broad iron disc just to point to where it breaks that specific iron up (tone break), not totally out, or whatever you prefer. Aaron

Thanks!👍 I really think it’s really important for your first X amount of hours to dig a lot of junk. In turn, building confidence in your decision to dig or not too. As I said in the video, there’s definitely a lot of audio nuances in this D2 audio, it’s also in the Goldmaxx Power also, ( a 20yr old machine!). Those French REALLY know what their doing…. Aaron

Yes Chase, in short audio is really most important aspect of discrimination, and it really is GREAT on the D2. However the ultimate discriminator is your shovel,,,so you just never know… Aaron

I found this very interesting…. IDK, maybe it’s just me but I wouldn’t be walking around NYC w all the au unless I had a armed guard next to me. Aaron

Yep, agreed. One thing though, the intelligent audio of the D2 can at least help you weed through a lot of the irregular or mangled pieces of aluminum. A nice round ring is always gonna sound nice. Aaron

Yes, been out 2x’s. 2 weeks ago,(posted a video of that) and last week, didn’t find much. Waters warming up, people started swimming last week. There’s very little to find but hopefully that will change with the warm weather coming… Thanks Aaron

WTG👍Judging by all the non fe targets you found, there’s probably still plenty more there. The D2 like all w all XP machines are fantastic in iron, and more time you get on it the less you’ll be digging, especially the BIG iron. Aaron

This is not a exciting video, however I am hunting in ground that has been POUNDED by myself over many years now. The Tarsacci and Etrac didn’t leave much behind in this area except in the mid conductor range. I still manage to find Buffalos here and once in a great while some gold. Notice the difference in audio between the various pieces of aluminum…. Aaron

I’ve been discussing this issue of target ID’s with Keith Southern, and that’s exactly what he is saying. When using a multiple frequency program, various targets in different frequencies are going to weight different, and w that wide VDI range, their gonna have that type of irregular pattern….

Great job on the categorization, that’s A LOT of work! Yes, I noticed the gold ring numbers a couple weeks ago when I tested my jewelry. I’m actually disappointed w these numbers especially w the ones in the 80s & 90s. I don’t understand why silver dollars are at 99, usually items that high are in the iron wrap around. There’s very little differentiation between medium to large silver coins, not good…. Im no engineer, however I do know it’s not a good idea to be intermingling gold targets w silver. Hopefully this will be addressed in a future update….. Aaron

Unfortunately, your going to have to dig A LOT of foil to find that elusive gold chain, (that I’m still looking for too!). I strongly believe that if your looking for small gold that that, you need to be looking in places it is lost most often, and trash being on the low side. For example soccer and football fields where there is physical contact amongst people, or tot lots where mothers lose bracelets and chains playing w their kids. Also, being too reliant on your VDI can be a mistake as the audio is even more important, volumes could be said on this. The guys w the old beep and digs especially the Tesoro’s know what I’m talking about…. Now if only the Deus 2 could have the same audio that the good old Goldmaxx Power has,,, now that’s a machine thats TUNED to find gold and does NOT like foil! Aaron

So far, the only gold I’ve found is the crucifix I posted a few weeks ago. It was a solid 37-38, and I was using the XY. It was making a little squiggly dot in the center of the screen. I’ll try to do a video on small gold conductors …. Aaron

According to the link, it recommends charging it for 3hrs, and not charging it overnight. And also, not running it dry, but keeping it “topped off” Glad this thread was started👍 Aaron

Here’s another video demonstration using a really tough to disc rusty BC. From what I’m seeing so far, they usually ring up around 45, they are a scratchy but still deceptive tone. You can bust it up by whipping the coil. BC 2 seems the ideal setting if you don’t want to miss anything due to masking. Even w the nickel under the BC, in reject 2 you’ll still get the nickel, though the VDI will drag the nickel down to the high 50’s. I haven’t tested high conductors like copper and silver, I’m betting it will probably work. Now, the next thing is to see how BC 2 works w a lower conductor in the thin to medium gold ring class…. Thanks, Aaron

Tom, yes the TARSACCI’s response was basically the same w or w out the nickel. However, in BC reject 3, the D2 rejects the BC & nickel. In BC 1, w the D2 sounds off on the BC w nickel, bumped up 10 points, however the NF meter was over 50% which is interesting. More testing is needed…. Aaron

Hmmmm, if your hunting woods, I’d say the 9”, but for beach obviously the 11”. Since you can only have one, and since you can’t buy separately, (yet)….I’d say (IMHO your best bet is the 9”. Don’t underestimate the power of the 9” XP coil! Aaron

What type of hunting are you going to be using the D2 for? Aaron

Agreed, zincs need to be dug. That’s a MONSTER gold ring, seldom are they dug that big. Aaron

Gold sooo sweet to find….CONGRATS! Aaron

Looks bigger than 6grms, great find!👍 Aaron

Great stuff! 👍

Very unique, congrats! Aaron

Returning stuff is always the BEST! WTG 👍 2 years ago I found a wedding w a wedding date back in 49’ w 2 sets of initials, wish I could find the owner😔 Aaron

Nice kettlebell!👍

No 3rd person. Digging Dude (the guy w the cool voice) is contributing his videos to me to post. I helped DD learn his Tarsacci, and he’s returning the favor by helping me with the D2.🙂 We’re just here to help others learn their machines and enjoy the hobby. Aaron
